n
When the Spring Rain Begins to FallRandall
D. Standridge. Inspired by the sounds of life-giving
forces of Mother Nature, this lyrical work is truly
gorgeous. A trumpet solo, accompanied by a
masterful blend of wind and percussion sounds,
introduces the lightly syncopated melody. With
thunder rolls in the bass drum and snapping fingers
imitating the sound of rainfall, this impressionistic
work is evocative and compelling.

n Where Eagles SoarSteven Reineke. The
majesty, beauty and strength of the eagle's flight
is portrayed with sensitivity and skill in this uplifting
work! This is a simply magnificent piece that sits
on the upper side of the medium-easy level due
to some brief flourishes in the woodwind parts, but
the result is spectacular. Each section is shown in
a favorable light, with idiomatic parts that show off
what they do best. Not only would this open any
concert with distinction, but it's a natural choice to
take to festival as well. Outstanding!

WhiplashRandall D. Standridge. Young bands
will explore rhythmic and motivic development in a
thrilling and exciting manner. The title has a double
meaning, referring first to the breakneck tempo,
and second to the sharp report of the whip cracking
throughout the piece. All this combines to make a
thoroughly exhilarating experience for students,
conductors and audiences!

l Wild Rose JamboreeRobert Buckley. Conjure
up the pioneer spirit and the big-sky panorama of
Canada's heartland with this cinematic music that
captures the essence of life in "wild rose country."
With a high-spirited hoedown and a rich, reverent
theme, this composition could be a dynamic show
opener or festival piece. Upper parts are written at a
medium level and the lower parts at an easier level
so it can be performed by a mixed group of junior
and senior high musicians.

n The Witching HourRandall Standridge. Eerie
and macabre, the music recreates the time of night
when dark forces appear, gathering together for a
night of celebration and mischief. Four sections are
introduced by the ringing of bells, much like the
tolling of church bells late at night, casting a spell
over musicians and audiences alike.

n With Every Winter's BreathRandall D.
Standridge. In this moving tribute piece, the
composer has created a breathtakingly gorgeous
band work inspired by the idea that even after
death, a person's memory can inspire, comfort, and
influence our daily lives. A poignant original melody
and Go Tell it on a Mountain are both effectively
used to memorialize Maddie Milner, a trumpet
player in the Bayfield, CO High School band, who
passed on doing what she loved in a skiing accident
her freshman year. Your students and audience will
surely get emotionally involved with every aspect of
this stunning work!

H With Quiet CourageLarry Daehn. This glowing
tone poem is wonderful for teaching phrasing and
tone, and audiences love it! Premiered by the U.S.

n Within the Castle Walls (Songs of Welsh
Revolution)Brian Balmages. A collection of
Welsh tunes make up this four-movement suite
for developing bands. The first movement, "A
Mighty Warrior," is bold and brave, like the hero
it describes, with a strong Celtic feel. "Over the
Stone" is the reverent and reserved second
movement. A stately and majestic theme is heard in
"Men of Harlech." The suite concludes with "Owain
Glyndwr's War Song," which is a Celtic military style
march. A strong piece for any concert program.

4 YellowRobert W. Smith. A thoroughly delightful
and energetic selection for concert and festival
performance. As the third movement from Krisanna's
Colors, the piece is inspired by her color choice used
to describe a bright, happy and energetic day. The
infectious melody is presented throughout the band,
including a lively fugue statement that brings the
cheer to every section. An excellent way to lift spirits
and brighten everyone's mood.

l YonaguskaWilliam Owens. The stalwart
leadership of Chief Yonaguska and the integrity
of a proud people come alive in this brilliant
programmatic work. The bold, harmonically rich
opening statement begins the drama. A driving
allegro section features spectacular woodwind
features with bold, heroic brass statements. Add
a large battery of percussion and you have all the
ingredients for a fantastic piece!

H Yorkshire BalladJames Barnes. This is
unusually nice, and can be exceptionally effective
for concert or contest! It's a very solidly scored, rich,
lyrical, lush setting of a typical English folk ballad
that contains flowing countermelodies throughout
which are of equal importance to the melody.
A perfect contrast to a bolder, more vigorous
selection, this quite playable work will present your
band in a most positive way!

l Yorkshire Folk Song SuitePierre La Plante. A
charming suite intended as a homage and stepping
stone to the works of Holst, Grainger and Vaughan
Williams. The three movements are based on
traditional English folk tunes which include sea
songs, a ballad, and an old whimsical children's
song. Written in a style reminiscent of these
masters, this suite is accessible to younger bands
yet appropriate for more advanced ensembles.

n A Zillion NickelsSamuel R. Hazo. When you
look out at the ocean, what does it resemble? This
unique, driving composition paints that picture. The
upper Atlantic beaches hold many stories, from
beautifully scenic sunrises to the wrath of hurricane
Sandy. Three high schools in Toms River, New
Jersey commissioned this musical depiction of their
celebrated shore, from joy to turbulence. The heavy
emphasis on percussion only adds to the exciting
build and powerful ending!

lovely melody are the subtle and compelling bugle

and emotional mood to the overall effect.

"Alice in Wonderland" books. This arrangement
for band is designed to be playable by a wide
variety of groups and is appropriate for large or

n Action BrassBrian Sadler. Originally written for
brass ensemble, this setting for concert band has
all the excitement of an action film score. Heroic
fanfares start the action followed by a middle
section with a contrasting dark, narrative theme.
The action then picks up, accelerating into a
triumphant brass fanfare with woodwind flourishes
for a glorious finale!

n AdagioDavid Holsinger. Composed in memory
of a departed friend, this work is an intensely
emotional synthesis of both joy and pain, the result
being a beauty touched with sadness similar to
the effect achieved by Albinoni's famous Adagio.
Also similar with that work is its large arch form,
which culminates with a broad full band statement
of the theme set against a proud counterstatement
in the horn section. On either side of the arch is
a long, expressive crescendo/decrescendo built
upon a rising bass line almost like a passacaglia.
A beautiful tribute!

work comes from Holsinger's "GrandKid Suite," in
which he has captured his grandson's obsession
with anything that flies - be it airplane, helicopter,
or... super hero! After a bold, dramatic opening,
the soaring super hero theme takes off. Look! Up

the Rocketman!
